I have very wide forefeet with bunions and I found this shoe to be wide enough for me. The heel has very nice cushioning. They just felt good from the first time I put them on. I came back to Brooks after a few years and am happy so far!

These shoes are well worth the money. I have planter fascitis and I have been trying to find a shoe that I could wear. This is it! I used to wear Asics kinsei, but they decided to discontinue that line. This is the first show since then that I've found that I've liked!

I wore Saucony running shoes for many YEARS...however the last few I purchased were not the same quality or fit which led me on a trek to find a new brand. I AM COMPLETELY IN LOVE WITH THESE BROOKS!!!!! The fit is perfect-supportive yet lightweight and NOT bulky. I purchased my typical running shoe size (7.5) and they fit perfectly. I run between 9-15 miles a week and am in my early 40s-just the age to start hearing some "creaking" in the knees and having some IT band issues. Well those minor/beginning issues have disappeared since switching to these Brooks. I am fully converted to a Brooks fan now.

These sneakers are great. I usually get the Ghost but decided to change it up and I'm glad I did. These feel a bit more cushiony. They are actually cuter than the other Brooks I have bought.

These running shoes are great! I put them on and jogged a 10K. I am an older runner and always have concern for my knees. They felt amazing and it was like I was running on clouds. I am so pleased with them. I got 1/2 size larger than what I normally wear, but always do that with Brooks running shoes. I highly recommend this shoe!

Currently 8 months along. Purchased these shoes and experienced immediate pain relief in my ankles and hip. They provide great support now, and I’m looking forward to zero joint pain in postpartum runs.

As a Fitness Instructor and Trainer I'm on my feet all day. I need good support for my crazy feet so I can teach a class at the end of the day. These shoes have great support but I do think there is a little break in period on these shoes. Color is really nice, not bright at all. All in all, I'd say these are keepers!

I have been wearing Glycerin for several years. The last version only had one good color, and it sold out in no time. I have been waiting for Glycerin 17 for a long time! This version is quite a bit different that the last several - the shoes are more of a woven material. I was not sure about it at first, however I really like them. Other than the woven fabric exterior, these seem to be the same as previous versions of Glycerin - which I love. These are the only running shoes that I wear.

I normally wear a 9 and had ordered that size first but it felt too small in the toe box so I went up half a size. The are great on the run! I needed something with more cushion than my Launches for longer runs. They do not seem heavier to me at all. They are super comfortable . I love the color.

Purchased the Glycerin as a replacement for my all-time fave, the Asics Gel Kinsei which was discontinued. This is the best replacement I have found for that shoe which offered excellent supportive cushioning for a neutral runner with a high arch and history of foot/joint injury. The Glycerin seems to run about a 1/4 size smaller than Asics, so one may need to adjust size or sock situation.

I originally ordered an 11 but it was a hair too small, but otherwise felt great so I sent back for 11.5. Perfect! Have don done run in them so far and felt great. They have a very cushioned insole which is new to me (switching from shoes with barely any insole), but I really love them so fa.r And the light purple makes me smile. Wore them to to grocery store after the run and got a compliment on them :)

So thrilled that Brooks makes some styles in narrow widths, as these fit like a glove. As with most sneakers, I went up half a size from my shoe size.

I wear 9.5 in shoes, and normally go up half a size in sneakers, so I ordered a size 10 in these, and they fit perfectly. I was thrilled that the sneakers ran a bit narrower than B/medium width, which it is marked, as they are a perfect fit for me. Very comfortable and cushioned. Cannot wait to use them!

i tried on the glycerin 16 and 17. the 16 was too big around my toes but the 17 fit perfectly. I need the extra toe room, but the 16 was too much

i wore Brooks Glycerin from number 5 through about number 10 until they changed the shoe. It was so disappointing to me. I managed with the Glycerin 16, but had to go the the D width to not feel cramped, plus I have a bunion on the left foot. The Glycerin 17's fit beautifully and feel like they are giving me the support I want. I have just ordered additional pairs of the 17. I will have comfortable feet and peace of mind for awhile now.

I was skeptical when viewing on line but they turned out to be quite good looking. I ordered the grey color. They fit perfect I wear a size 8 and ordered these (as I have always ordered Brooks) in a size 8.5. Light in weight and a really good fit. Plus they are good looking.
